Ron Johnson opposes… child care: It’s not ‘society’s responsibility to take care of other people’s children’


At a press conference Tuesday, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) justified his opposition to the government funding child care by saying it’s something people “need to consider” when they “decide” to become parents.

While visiting the Kwik Trip headquarters in La Crosse, Wis. as part of a statewide business tour, Johnson balked at the idea that the government should fund child care in order to get people back to work.

“People decide to have families and become parents, that’s something they need to consider when they make that choice,” Johnson said in response to a reporter’s question about some people’s lack of financial access to child care keeping them from rejoining the workforce.

“I’ve never really felt it was society’s responsibility to take care of other people’s children.”

1. Hey Ron why do I

have to pay for adults that don't get the shot?

[CrispyQ]

2. Nothing says we don't give a shit about them after they're born, more than this.

What a self-righteous, hypocritical asshole you are, Senator. ~insert flip-the-bird emoji here

Your party works hard to limit women's access to birth control & abortion, but becoming a parent is "something they need to consider when they make that choice." I fucking hate repubs.

11. My first thought when I heard this..

[Nictuku]

16. Exactly!

3. Men of a certain generation

Guessing Johnson and men of his ilk never, lifted. a. finger. in raising their own children. They never had to find day care, or figure out how to go to his kid's middle school for a parent teacher conference during his lunch hour.

These same oldsters yearn for a yesteryear where the adults in the neighborhood watched out and reported back and even disciplined other people's kids.

Scratch the surface of 90% of first borns, and I'm guessing those parents didn't "decide" to embark on parenthood. Those first borns have a way of gestating to completion in five or six months, even if the second and third kids take a full 40 weeks.

Republicans are for exploitive, low wages & long hours. Yet they'll ship good "blue collar" manufacturing jobs overseas to save 90¢ on each labor dollar and bring in automation (remember the Fotomat? The gas station guy? Cashiers?) and consistently vote against raising the minimum wage, then wonder why mom AND dad both have to work, and arrange childcare.

Trickle down economics at work. HOw on earth did this tool defeat Russ Feingold?

4. I don't have children. Why do I have to send other people's kids to school.Especially when the

Parents are assholes.All children are other people’s kids to me. Doesn’t mean I don’t care about them. Jesus Christ

9. Good schools increase property values.

5. Rojo does not BELIEVE in Jesus Christ then...

When Jesus Christ preached that the rich had an obligation before God to help the poor and lift up their communities.

Republicans like RoJo want people to have babies, but NOT make sure those babies have a shot at life, food in their bellies, rooves over their heads, clothes on their backs, or education so one day return to repeat the process.

God told Cain in Genisis that he(Cain) was indeed his brother's keeper. RoJo does believe it his responsibility to see to it the RICH pay as little taxes and the poorer American, MORE.

6. Children raised without proper care and support become a burden for the rest of their life

see Ron Johnson as a prime example. If he had been raised in a nurturing, supportive environment, he would not be the cold blooded cruel sociopath that he is today.

7. This is the imbecile that Wisconsin choose over Russ Feingold in 2016?

8. Ron Johnsons

Society of the Alone.

[onecaliberal]

10. This is what they want. They will take SS, healthcare

All of it if they can.

[Turbineguy]

12. Life shall be

dirty, brutish and short!

The dark ages were a republican golden age.

[WillUSAF]

13. GOP hypocrisy at its finest

Continues to make me laugh that people believe in this stupid people. The GOP are just fucking clowns

[NCjack]

14. Why do the poor have to pay taxes? Haven't they already paid enough

to the rich by working as wage slaves?

[Midnight Writer]

15. "It Takes A Village" versus "It's Not Society's Responsibility".

[Lettuce Be]

17. He opposes "affordable" child care

Doubt he completely opposes childcare altogether. He's still a giant ass and needs to be gone. Do the R's have any decent people left?
